This course aims to provide students with the opportunity to gain knowledge of personality constructs widely used in contemporary psychology and their research methods. Constructs are explored in the frame of six personality domains according to classical and contemporary major personality psychology approaches. Personality is analyzed from the Dispositional, Biological, Intrapsychic, Cognitive/Experiential, Social Cultural, and Adjustment domains, using their theoretical and empirically tested evidence on personality assessment, influencing factors of individual differences and their relationship with personality functioning, and social interaction. The course provides both theoretical information as well as an opportunity for practical assignments that aim to increase a more thorough understanding of factors and processes explaining individual differences and to critically evaluate the empirical basis of the findings related to them.
